There Is Always a Reason Checklist

When your young child's behavior suddenly shifts from joyful to challenging, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed and wondering, “What on earth just happened?!” In those tough moments, it’s hard to think clearly, let alone figure out the root cause. As I share throughout my book, There Is Always a Reason, every behavior is a form of communication—a clue to what your child is going through or needing from you.

To help you decode these clues in the heat of the moment, I’ve created this simple, one-page checklist. Think of it as your go-to guide to help you pause, take a breath, and quickly consider the 'why' behind your child's actions. It walks you through checking for everything from basic physical needs like hunger and tiredness to deeper environmental, relational, and developmental triggers. Download it, print it out, stick it on your fridge, and use it as a powerful reminder to move from reacting to the behavior to responding to the needs of the beautiful little human behind it.

For a copy of this checklist, pop your email in below and I'll send it to you. By submitting your email, you’ll receive the download immediately. You will not be added to a mailing list.

 

Tick the box if you would like to get a sneak peak at a free chapter from my upcoming book Parenting Superpowers. The book sets out my "secret weapons" for gently and kindly managing preschooler behavior. This sample chapter is about timers, and how they can be used to make smooth, graceful and stress-free transitions. By ticking the box I will also send you very occasional updates and further chapters from my book as it progresses.  No spam (all my energies are required for my new book!).
